[0033] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, terms such as "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a receiving port, which includes a floor, a safety boot 1, and an adsorption component. In the receiving state, the safety boot 1 is installed on the floor through the adsorption component.

[0035] For the receiving port provided in this embodiment, due to the setting of the adsorption component, in the receiving state, that is, when the safety boot 1 is in the working state, the safety boot 1 can be installed on the floor of the receiving port through the adsorption component, thereby reducing the possibility of the position of the safety boot 1 shifting, and further reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft cabin door.

[0036] Exemplarily, the safety boot 1 in this embodiment can be a mobile safety boot, and the working position of the mobile safety boot can be selected according to different styles of aircraft cabin doors. In the receiving state, it can prevent the opened aircraft cabin door from scraping against the floor of the receiving port. In the receiving state, that is, when the safety boot 1 is in the working state, the mobile safety boot is placed in the area between the floor of the receiving port and the bottom of the aircraft cabin door to protect the aircraft cabin door. Specifically, when the boarding bridge is docked to the aircraft and the aircraft cabin door is opened, the staff will place the safety boot 1 under the opened aircraft cabin door, for example, at the directly below position; before the aircraft cabin door is closed, the staff will take away the safety boot 1 from under the aircraft cabin door again. Usually, for example, in the non-receiving state, the safety boot 1 is placed in the safety boot storage box for storage.

[0037] It should be understood that the structure and working principle of the mobile safety boot should be understandable to those skilled in the art, and are well-known and easy to implement for those skilled in the art. Therefore, this embodiment will not be described in detail.

[0038] In this embodiment, the floor includes a fixed floor (not shown in the figure) and a movable floor 2, and the movable floor 2 is telescopically connected to the fixed floor to dock with the aircraft.

[0039] In one implementation manner, the adsorption component includes a magnetic adsorption component, and the magnetic adsorption component includes an electromagnet 31 and a magnetic member 32. One of the floor and the safety boot 1 is provided with the electromagnet 31, and the other is provided with the magnetic member 32; the electromagnet 31 can adsorb or separate from the magnetic member 32.

[0040] The holding handle 11 of the safety boot 1 is provided with a switch device 33, and the switch device 33 is used to control the energization and de-energization of the electromagnet 31. When in use, when the electromagnet 31 is controlled to be energized by the switch device 33, the electromagnet 31 generates a magnetic suction force and can be adsorbed and fixed together with the magnetic member 32, so as to install the safety boot 1 on the floor and reduce the risk of displacement.

[0041] There are various structures of the switch device 33. Exemplarily, the switch device 33 can be a button, and the structure and pressing method of the button are not limited. For example, when the staff presses the control button, the electromagnet 31 is de-energized, loses its magnetism and adsorption force, which is convenient for placing, retrieving and moving the safety boot 1. After releasing the control button, the electromagnet 31 is energized to generate magnetism and adsorption force, and is adsorbed and fixed together with the magnetic member 32.

[0042] Also, for another example, the switch device 33 can also be a button that is turned on by pressing once and turned off by pressing again. Specifically, when the button is pressed once, the electromagnet 31 is energized to generate magnetism and adsorption force; when the button is pressed again, the electromagnet 31 is de-energized and loses its magnetism and adsorption force.

[0043] The button can be arranged at the bottom of the holding handle 11. This hidden design not only ensures aesthetics but also can prevent accidental touching of the button.

[0044] Of course, the button can also be arranged at other positions of the holding handle 11.

[0045] In addition, the setting position of the button is not limited to the holding handle 11. For example, the button can also be arranged on the operating table at the receiving port.

[0046] In one embodiment, the receiving port further includes an indicating device (not shown in the figure), and the indicating device is used to indicate the working state of the adsorption assembly.

[0047] Exemplarily, the indicating device can be arranged on the holding handle 11 to indicate the de-energization / energization condition of the electromagnet 31.

[0048] Exemplarily, the indicating device can include indicating lights of different colors. For example, a red light indicates that the electromagnet 31 is energized and can adsorb, and a green light indicates that the electromagnet 31 is de-energized and can move.

[0049] In this embodiment, the magnetic member 32 can be a plate-like structure of magnetic material or a coating of magnetic material. The magnetic material is prior art, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel.

[0050] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 the electromagnet 31 is arranged on the surface of the floor away from the safety boot 1, and the magnetic member 32 is arranged on the bottom plate 12 of the safety boot 1.

[0051] Exemplarily, the electromagnet 31 may be disposed on the surface of the movable floor 2 away from the safety boot 1. That is to say, the movable floor 2 covers the electromagnet 31, and the electromagnet 31 cannot be seen from the outside, preventing it from being touched and improving safety.

[0052] It should be understood that, in order to show the electromagnet 31, Figure 1 the movable floor 2 is shown in perspective.

[0053] Referring to Figure 3 as shown, the magnetic member 32 may be a magnetic plate, and the magnetic plate may be fixed to the bottom plate 12 of the safety boot 1 by means of bonding or the like. Of course, it is also possible to reserve a mounting position on the bottom plate 12 of the safety boot 1 and embed the magnetic plate into the mounting position. At this time, the surfaces of the magnetic plate and the bottom plate 12 of the safety boot 1 facing the movable floor 2 may be coplanar, so that the dimensions in the height direction of the safety boot 1 are not occupied. Of course, the material of the bottom plate 12 of the safety boot 1 may also be a magnetic material, such as carbon steel, that is, the bottom plate 12 of the safety boot 1 is the magnetic plate.

[0054] The magnetic member 32 may also be a magnetic material coating applied to the bottom plate 12 of the safety boot 1.

[0055] In some other embodiments, referring to Figures 4 to 6 as shown, the electromagnet 31 is disposed on the bottom plate 12 of the safety boot 1, and the magnetic member 32 is disposed on the surface of the floor close to the safety boot 1, and the extending direction of the magnetic member 32 is consistent with the extending direction of the floor.

[0056] Exemplarily, a receiving cavity is provided on the bottom plate 12 of the safety boot 1, and the electromagnet 31 is installed in the receiving cavity.

[0057] The magnetic member 32 may be a magnetic plate, and the magnetic plate may be fixed to the surface of the movable floor 2 close to the safety boot 1 by means of bonding or the like. Of course, it is also possible to reserve a mounting position on the movable floor 2 and embed the magnetic plate into the mounting position. At this time, the surfaces of the magnetic plate and the floor facing the safety boot 1 may be coplanar.

[0058] The magnetic member 32 may also be a magnetic material coating applied to the movable floor 2.

[0059] The extending direction of the magnetic member 32 is consistent with the extending direction of the floor, so that the safety boot 1 can be placed at different positions. That is to say, along the extending direction of the magnetic member 32, there are multiple positions available for placing the safety boot 1.

[0060] It should be understood that the extending direction of the floor (indicated by the arrow direction D) may be the telescopic direction of the movable floor 2 relative to the fixed floor.

[0061] In other embodiments, the magnetic attraction assembly may further include a first magnet and a second magnet. The first magnet is disposed on the floor, and the second magnet is disposed on the safety boot 1. The magnetism of the first magnet is opposite to that of the second magnet.

[0062] Exemplarily, the first magnet can be fixed to the floor by means of adhesion, embedding, etc., and the second magnet can also be fixed to the base of the safety boot 1 by means of adhesion, embedding, etc. Since the magnetism of the first magnet is opposite to that of the second magnet, they can be attracted to each other, thereby mounting the safety boot 1 on the floor.

[0063] In another embodiment, referring to Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the adsorption assembly includes a vacuum adsorption assembly. The vacuum adsorption assembly includes a suction cup 41. The suction cup 41 is disposed on the side of the safety boot 1 facing the floor, and the suction cup 41 can adsorb on the floor. Exemplarily, the suction cup 41 can adsorb on the movable floor 2. Among them, Figure 7 The shaded area extending in the direction of arrow D in is the adsorption area, and the suction cup 41 can adsorb at any position within this adsorption area.

[0064] The number of the suction cups 41 can be one or multiple. Exemplarily, when the number of the suction cups 41 is multiple, the multiple suction cups 41 can be arranged in rows and columns under the bottom plate of the safety boot 1.

[0065] In one embodiment, an air extraction switch 42 is provided on the holding handle 11 of the safety boot 1. The air extraction switch 42 is used to control the opening and closing of the vacuum pumping device.

[0066] The suction cup 41 is communicated with the air extraction port of the vacuum pumping device through an air pipe 43. By controlling the vacuum pumping device to be turned on through the air extraction switch 42, vacuum extraction is achieved, so that the suction cup 41 firmly adsorbs on the movable floor 2. When it is necessary to move or remove the safety boot 1, the air extraction switch 42 controls the vacuum pumping device to be turned off to achieve air release, so that the suction cup 41 can be separated from the movable floor 2.

[0067] The air extraction switch 42 can be a button. The air extraction switch 42 can be disposed at the bottom of the holding handle 11, which not only ensures aesthetics but also prevents accidental touching of the button.

[0068] Of course, the air extraction switch 42 can also be disposed at other positions of the holding handle 11, or can be disposed on the operation console of the access port.

[0069] In this another embodiment, an indicating device, such as an indicator light, can also be provided to indicate the working state of the vacuum adsorption assembly, which will not be elaborated here.

[0070] In one embodiment, the access opening further includes a detection mechanism for detecting the position change of the safety boot 1. When the safety boot 1 deviates from the working position, alarm can be used to prompt the staff to take corresponding measures.

[0071] In some embodiments, the detection mechanism includes a ranging sensor. The ranging sensor is installed on the safety boot 1 and is used to detect the distance between the safety boot 1 and the wall surface where the front window of the access opening or the fuselage is located.

[0072] Exemplarily, the ranging sensor can be a laser ranging sensor. For example, a diffuse reflection type laser ranging sensor can be adopted, and the ranging laser beam is directed towards the fuselage or the wall surface where the front window of the access opening is located. This method is relatively reliable. It can also be considered to install the ranging sensor on the wall surface where the front window of the access opening is located and direct it towards the safety boot.

[0073] Exemplarily, after the safety boot 1 is placed, record the current distance L1 between the safety boot 1 and the wall surface where the front window of the access opening is located. Subsequently, continuously detect the distance L2 between the safety boot 1 and the wall surface where the front window of the access opening is located, and calculate the relative distance change value ΔL with respect to the access opening, ΔL = |L2 - L1|. For example, the following judgment rule can be adopted: If ΔL ≥ the set alarm threshold for safety boot sliding, trigger an alarm reminder, such as a voice reminder: "The safety boot has abnormal displacement, please pay attention to inspection".

[0074] It should be noted that a specular reflection type laser ranging sensor can also be adopted. At this time, a specular reflection lens needs to be installed. One of the lens and the specular reflection type ranging sensor is installed on the wall surface where the front window of the access opening is located, and the other is installed on the safety boot.

[0075] In some other embodiments, the detection mechanism includes a plurality of induction switches, and the plurality of induction switches are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the floor. Exemplarily, the induction switch can be, but is not limited to, an infrared induction switch, a microwave induction switch, an ultrasonic induction switch, a piezoelectric induction switch, an electromagnetic induction switch or a capacitance induction switch.

[0076] Exemplarily, the plurality of induction switches can be arranged at intervals along the telescopic direction of the movable floor 2 on the movable floor 2. It can be judged whether the safety boot 1 has unexpected movement or the placement position is significantly abnormal according to the number of triggered induction switches.

[0077] Exemplarily, the safety boot 1 is placed at the initial position. At the initial position, record the number of induction switches that the safety boot 1 can trigger as M, where M ≥ 1 and M ≤ the number of induction switches; at this time, if all the induction switches are not triggered, an alarm reminder "The position of the safety boot is abnormal, please check" is given.

[0078] Subsequently, continuously detect the number of detection switches triggered by the safety boots 1. For example, the following judgment rule can be adopted: If the number of induction switches triggered by the safety boots 1 is not equal to M, then trigger an alarm reminder, such as a voice reminder: "The safety boots have abnormal displacement. Please pay attention to inspection."

[0079] Of course, other judgment rules can also be adopted: Taking the number of induction switches as five as an example, the five induction switches are represented by S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5 respectively, and the distance between adjacent two induction switches is a set value. At the initial position, S1 and S2 are triggered. If it is detected that S4 and S5 are triggered, an alarm reminder will also be triggered. Different judgment rules are related to factors such as the number of induction switches and the size of the spacing, which will not be described in detail here.

[0080] It should be understood that on the basis of the same structure of the detection mechanism, other judgment rules can also be adopted.

[0081] In addition, a certain judgment rule is set at the time of factory shipment, and the judgment rule can also be changed in actual application to further improve the accuracy of the alarm.

[0082] This embodiment also provides a boarding bridge, including the receiving port provided in this embodiment.

[0083] For the boarding bridge provided in this embodiment, since the receiving port provided in this embodiment is used, when it is in the receiving state, that is, the safety boot operation state, after docking with the aircraft, the safety boots 1 can be installed on the floor of the receiving port through the adsorption assembly, thereby reducing the possibility of the position of the safety boots 1 shifting, and further reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft cabin door.

[0084] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit it; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
